Maldives, Indian Ocean

Virgin rating

The hotel

Famous for the continuous white sand beach surrounding the entire island, Sun Siyam Iru Fushi is an idyllic setting for romantic and family trips alike. The 52 acre island allows for space and seclusion when you want it, but there are plenty of bars and restaurants with a great atmosphere and live music, when you’re ready for an upbeat evening. Whichever room type you opt for, you won’t be disappointed. Sunset Horizon Water Villas are great for couples getaways – savour that Maldivan sunset each day from your private outdoor jacuzzi with a sundowner in hand, these are some of the most coveted accommodations on the island. If there’s a group of you, you might want to opt for a Pool Beach Villa, with ample space for outdoor drinks on the beachfront terrace and a dip in the private pool. And not forgetting, all villas come with a multilingual butler service! If you’re feeling active then there’s plenty to keep you on your feet, from water sports to tennis, or for a more relaxing activity then visit the award-winning Spa by Thalgo which offers over 160 treatments, the kids will be well looked after in the kids’ club whilst you get some much needed “me time”. And it’s hard to know where to start when it comes to dining, with a choice of 15 bars and restaurants from casual snacks by the pool to teppanyaki at your table, overwater champagne bar to beachfront fine dining, they have it all. You may even just fancy a pizza in the comfort of your villa, no requests is too big!

Absolutely loved it, my 3rd trip to the Maldives but my 1st holiday here. Beautiful island, lots of bars and restaurants to choose from also the buffet restaurant. I pre booked different restaurants each evening on the app prior to our visit. Weather was changeable but always warm, we had a few thunderstorms and rain but mostly lovely, a bit overcast. We had 3 water villas for 6 of us. They couldn’t do enough to make sure we were looked after. We booked the free hour in the spa with a facial and plunge pool and sauna. Paddled boarded, took out the glass bottom boat. Loved walking across the wooden walk ways to the diving centre to see the 3 turtles nearly every day. One afternoon it rained so we went to the main bar and the guys got us up to make cocktails, which was really fun. Breakfast buffet is fabulous, omelette guy is awesome, lots to choose from. My daughter is vegan and they couldn’t do enough to ensure she was looked after. Loved the Indian restaurant, one of the tastiest Indian I’ve had. We tried the Italian, French and Bamboo restaurants, at the Bamboo Asian the lady Shuoon & Vivik were so helpful, as were Nishal, Thalina & Narendra at the waters edge bar. Our butler Shahudhaan was awesome, he looked after us & we had my partner Mum 87 with us and he made sure she was looked after. 2 of the group went on the day trip to swim with turtles and mantra rays and the film they brought back was absolutely stunning. 3 of the girls hired jet skis. 4 of us went on the big yellow duck ride and didn’t stop laughing it was hilarious. Tired to solve the treasure hunt on a few days. With 6 of us we just couldn’t manage to take advantage of everything on offer, if you ever think it’s just for honeymooners then think again because our group of 6 compromised of 3 girls aged 22-24, us 2 age 54 and my partner mum. We had such an incredible time. Found the games room with pool table. Snorkelled out the back of our villas and from the back of the dive centre, saw a few dolphins from there. We saw different rays, the 3 turtles, so many fish and sharks and loved seeing the bats in the day & night. Lovely boutique and gift shop.. We enjoyed 3course lunches at the family bar and pool even when there was a thunderstorm and the food at the adult bar and pool was fabulous. We had beach bags. Rain coats, umbrellas and torches in our water villas Storms, sunsets & sharks Read less
